Misfortunes (with Jake Chapman)

In 2+2=5, Jake Chapman’s rewrite of Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith is employed by the Ministry of Good Fortune to correct an unfortunate glitch in the system that generates positive messages for fortune cookies. The video pairs these ‘misfortunes’ with Maya B. Kronic’s AI atrocities and queasy new age soundtrack.

Exhibited at Gravity of the Useless, Display, Prague, 2025.

In collaboration with: Jake Chapman
